Fort WokTH's water works were,
as usual, out of order and she lost
two blocks of buildings in one fire
"Wednesday night. Waco's water
supply and fire department were
equal to the emergency, as usual, for
three fires in twenty hours, and only
one email residence was burned.

streets, block would have gone and

In Is announced that Il gigantic
scheme has been undertaken in New
Mexico, whereby 100000 acres are
to be rendered susceptible to cultiva-
ton. Water IS to be taken from the
Rio Graude, at point about eighteen
miles west of Santa Fe, aud conveyed
in a canal $50 miles long, through
the counties of Santa Fe, Y alencis

by the Albuquerque Land and Water
company, aad is to be commenced with
in sixty days. The undertaking cannot
be properly termed au experiment,
but it Is the largest thing OF the kind
ever attempted in this country.

lated hin for tariff reform, and will
present it early in the session. 1t
transfers many articles of prime ne
cessity, such as coal, iron, salt, lead,
wool and wooden goods, clothing, etc.

many schedules, and fixes a
uniform rate of sixty per cent. on

Irate Settlers.

MITCHELL, Fsb. 1S.-Dillon & Preston, at
torneys for Wright in the Wright Becker case,
involving the validity Of inal receipt as title
to government land, recently passed on by
Judge Tripp, will carry the case to the su-
preme court As a result of Judge Trlpp's
decision in the above case that registers and
receivers final receipts are not title, the aues-
tion Of organizing settlers union to enjoin
the payment Of taxes on land held on final
receipt before the patent issue is being agi-
tated here. Our citizens are unanimous In
declaring it gross Injustice to compel land
holders to pay taxes before they have title to
their lands. Many are In favor Of the course
mapped out by the settlers union. Others more
conservative say the grievance is great, almost
unbearable, but that it is question If the
course proposed would not involve more seri-
GUS difficulties and advise that the matter take
its course through the courts The seeming
wiser heads advocate combined effort Of Da-
kotaIs to get congress to pass law curing all
technical defects in titles to lands taken and
improved in good faith up to the present time,
and to provide for trial in court or by commits
sion of all cases henceforth, to which taint is
found to attach. 1t is claimed that the first
course, while perhaps justified in measure,
will but further complicate the situation, while
the latter offers the only hope of relief that can
be suggested at this time.-iSs. Paul Globe

I'm case of trouble with Great Britain"
says the Pioneer Press, sDakota will become a
very active field of operations. For $50 miles
the territory borders on British possessions,
and although the population of that region is
scant it is l,rgely made up Of daring men, ac-
customed to priyations and dangers, and to
whom the rich herds Of Montana and Northern
Dakota would afford resistless temptation.
The chances for plunder would also attract ad-
venturers from all parts of the dominion, and
unless our frontier was effectively guarded
Dakota would suffer severely. On the other
hand, there is little to gain by return raids.
The country could be occupied, but that is
about all. The discussion of this question is
not premature. There ought to be no diff
Guilty in arriving at an amicable adjustment Of
our disputes with Canada through a commits
sion, but there is. The prevailing spirit seems
unfayorable to such settlement and while it is
to be hoped that wiser counsels will control, it
ls not improper to recognize the possibility Of
rupture. Nations never fight because they
must, but because they will.''

Gov. Chureh's Appointments.

Gov. Church last Friday sent to the council
the name of Col. John D. Benton, of Cass
county, to be territorial treasurer, and James
A. Ward, to be auditor, in place of Nv. Cald-
we'll. The appointment Of Col. Benton was a
great surprise, as it was not known that he
was an applicant for the position. His ap-
pointment was promptly confirmed by the
council on Saturday by unanimous vote. Col.
Benton is well known throughout the North
west and his name has at various times been
mentioned in connection with the guberna-
torial Office. In the election last November
he gained considerable notoriety by defeat
ing Mr.. John Haggart for sheriff of Cass
county, one Of the most lucrative offices
in the territory, and one which MIR. Haggart
had hold for number Of years. The contest
was bitter one, and though the friends of
John Haygart deemed him invincible, Col.
Benton was triumphantly elected by ma
jority OF over 600 votes: In person Col. Ben
ton is tall and stately, and he has always borne
high reputation for honesty and integrity
among the people of Fargo. His appointment
will prove popular one.

Edison HODelossly III.

New YORK, February 12.-Thonas A.
Edison is not likely toever return from Florida,
where he should have arrived to-day by EASY
stages. He had severe attack of pleurisy
last December, which left his lungs hopelessIy
diseased. His health was never robust, and
now he Is helpless. He insisted on carrying
along uncompleted inventions, which are more
wonderful and numerous than those which
have become of practical value, and at Fort
Meyers he will try and continue his expert
lnents. He Is accompanied by All expert and
clerical staff. His interests in telegrapby and
electrical lighting nre vested in working COM
panies here, and will not be disturbed by bis
illness or death; but he has in hand several
possible feasible but apparently visionary
schemes, and these he is determined to achieve
III spite Of disease His electric railway is one
and the circular track and locomotive that
thus far have been costly toys at his Now Jer-
sey home are to be transferred TO Florida
second is the utilization Of electricity to get
all the heat out Of the combustion of coal, in
which project the experimental expenses are
borne hy several railroad companies. Edison
has lately become believer in spiritualism,
and has devoted considerable timo and thought
to tho use Of his phonograpl, or talking ma
chine, in communication with the dead. These
ghostly gcings on have disturbed those capital
lists who have heavy interests In his inventions,
and rumors Of insanity have been circulated; {;
but physicians and others close to him deride
any such idea, and declare that his intellect is
as clear and strong as ever.

culation for the last few days. Grand Master

not with stimulants, spring medicines, or Bit

For arrest.ng an American citizen under the
supposition that he was an Englishman, our
government made the Chinese government pay
$4,000. For the killing Of twenty Eight China
men by mob in this country our government,
after long delay, has agreed to pay the Chi
pese government sl47, 500, which is only about
$5,27O per dead Chinaman. This is certainly
getting thingsdown to fine point, and it does
not look very generous. Pioneer Press.

A Riverside Kicker.
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 81, 1887.

Editor Hope Pioneer:
Your correspondent from Riverside, who
signs himself "Sylvie," keeps pecking away at
US until we are compelled to answer him. The
question is very often heard, "What is the
trouble at Riverside?' I will briefly state it.,
One OF our board and contractor go to Hope,
consult lawyer, draw up petition, come
home, drive over to the clerks house, have him
sign the contract, in presence Of witness, to
move the school house one mile north. ALI
this is done unbeknown to the treasurer or any
one outside of the 'tclique." And when the
voters and taxpayers ask an explanation, our
genial director says 'you cannot do anything
about it; lawyer Gays IT'S legal; 1t is no use to
kick" II they intended to do straight work,
what need to consult a lawyer2 Can people
blame US for kicking over the traces? But we
are able to inform the people of Steele county
that we have knocked that contract into a
"cocked hat" and also our director will know
that sometimes lawyer can and will make
mistakes. In Riverside items Of January %,
'Sylyie" says Everybody is down on our
school clerk. Some think he ought to be Gre
mated by electricity" That is all wrong. But
some do think If we only could get him mar
ried he would not be so unsettled. And we
think If we could interview his little mules
they surely would second our move. They
probably could tell Of some lonely drives over
the prairie after dark. Probably II our school
clerk was settled down in life $40 per month
for school marin would look larger to him
than 1t does now. Or is he looking for the fu-
ture in the distance? Come all you blushing
maids Gage no objection) and have pity on ou,r
school clerk. OF course, We know It is not
leap year, but We will excuse it un Ter the cir
cumstances. He furth5l says that 4 hs knsg

what some Of them say about him he would
resign, insinuating that people talk behind his
back. He has been asked to resign. what
more does he wantp We cannot compel them
to step out, as the school laws are deficient in
this regard. In February 4th, "sylvis" says
the contract has been let to Porter Kinlball to
move the school one mile north" Why doe,
he not say how much he is to get. It would
look rather large, we simit knowing that a
certain party offered to move it one mile for a
triflo more than one-third as much. February
llth he (sylvia) says: "Oh, ye school clerk,
why don't you wake up and hear the little
o'rds sing" Yes you bet II he only would
listen, he would hear the little birds sing lit.
